Blood Drive

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9. As the opening event of Kindness Week Celebrations, the Somers Library is partnering with the New York Blood Center to hold a Blood Drive! Every two seconds, someone needs blood. And every patient is different.

There is no substitute for blood. Blood components cannot be synthetically made and can only come from volunteer donors. It’s the blood on the shelves today that saves lives — which is why donors are needed to give regularly so that there is enough blood when a disaster or crisis occurs. Visit library website to schedule an appointment.
